The latest episode in the Rural Lifestyle Dealer podcast series is now ready for you to take a listen. In this episode, we talk with David James of the law firm Nilan Johnson Lewis, which is based in Minneapolis, about what you can do if an employee complains about your dealership on social media.

James talks through what rights the employee has under the National Labor Relations Act and in what instances you can take action on disparaging comments on social media or wherever the comments occur.

James says the situation of employee/employer rights regarding speech has been “heightened in the social media era where employees are in a stronger position to really cause damage to an organization’s reputation.”

Listen in and learn more. And, if you have questions, you can reach out to David James at djames@nilanjohnson.com or call him at 612-305-7573.
